Like all good books, it has the potential to affirm, educate, and challenge. It is an entertaining, honest, and loving tool for adults to prepare children for the daunting arrival of a new baby. It can be read straight through as a picture book or presented in small pieces to foster important discussions. Children have different abilities and interest levels and a book like this allows adults to use their discretion in adapting its content to a child's needs. Younger children might respond most to the beautiful illustrations. Older children can participate in more complex discussions. Each experience is extremely valuable. As a preschool teacher who has worked with children for over 30 years, I am thrilled to find this book and would give it my highest recommendation! 20 of 22 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Babies Don't Eat Pizza: A Big Kids' Book About Baby Brothers and Baby Sisters (Hardcover) This book is described as a reading level for ages 4-8 . . . and I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Yes, the information provided is very good, and as an adopted child I'm pleased to see adoption mentioned (however briefly) but to be honest, what 4 year old needs to know that the baby's eyes may change color and you won't know what they'll be till their first birthday, or need to see pictures of the...

This book explained in a most sensitive manner the bump in mom's tummy, helping with the new baby, not ever being rough, even cuddling with mom while she nursed. And only the big kids get the privilege of eating pizza! We are reading this book -- over and over again. :o) |
